Based on Romanian and Norwegian folktales, The Enchanted Pig blends the worlds of opera, music theatre and vaudeville in a joyful, celebration of love in a charming production by Gale Edwards AM (revival director Linda Thompson),
with costumes by Oscar-winner, Tim Chappel.

THE ENCHANTED PIG is about LOVE - a modern, joyful story for all ages.
Loud and clear, you hear love is a wonder, love is strange, and love is a drug. It can make you happy, a hero - and a fool. 


For a Princess who finds herself truly in love with a Pig (who is actually a King under a spell), it turns out that love, amongst other things, is a journey of trust, patience and perseverance. Love's story unfolds with the help of the Northwind, the Moon and the Milky Way, in a splendid staging by Gale Edwards and Australian Contemporary Opera Co.

A "dazzling treasure of rolling tunes and spicy lyrics", The Enchanted Pig has appeal across generations.
Premiering in London in 2006, The Enchanted Pig was set to run for 3 weeks - and was extended to 10 weeks, before a season on Broadway in New York.  ACOCo's production, originally by Gale Edwards, premiered to rave reviews at the Yarra Valley Opera Festival in 2019.

With a cast involving leading Australian and international artists,
The Enchanted Pig is a celebration of love and relationships - bursting with energy and joy.
